The National Theatre of the Deaf

The National Theatre of the Deaf (NTD) is an organization that combines spoken language, sign language, mime, and theater to make performances accessible to both deaf and hearing audiences. Founded in 1967, it aims to promote understanding and communication between deaf and hearing communities through theatrical productions that emphasize storytelling, visual expression, and auditory dialogue. NTD often tours nationally and internationally, using skilled performers to break down barriers and share powerful stories in a unique, inclusive way that highlights the richness of both deaf culture and theatrical art.
